Speaking on , co-host Conrad Thompson brought up Drew McIntyre's comments, and AEW ꦑbroadcaster Jim Ro🙈ss noted that he reached out to him on social media.

“That was heavy, wasn’t it? I sent him a tweet, and I’ve known him since he got started. I’ve commiserated with him on many occasions. He had some marriage issues back in the day and so forth. I sent him a tweet that I’m always here for you. A lot of the guys that I signed, a lot of the guys that I work with, I feel that way. It’s not an AEW/WWE relationship. It’s JR being friends with some talents, and he always valued my opinion. I just wanted to let him know that there’s somebody out that didn’t have a dog in the hunt. If you just want to shoot the breeze, talk, I’m available. Because maybe I could help him. Maybe I could help him become more positive and less angry. I have a lot of respect for Drew, and I’m proud of his success. WWE’s got a good one with him," Ross said.
